Re: are resellers really competition?
"I still don't consider "resellers" to be competition."
You are confusing a Reseller and an NSP. They are buying last mile services from the Lec. They buy a wholesale loop from the customer prem to their network. They use their IPs, Servers, Bandwidth, Support, Modems, etc.
"You're also telling the companies that if you go and shell out all the money to lay down fibre/copper or whatever else"
Yes, if they intend to take advantage of the USF and other programs that are free money from the government by all means they should share that. If they do not want to do that they should refuse the USF fees.
BTW NSPs and CLecs that collect USF fees have to give that back to the ILec. |
